Folding Solar Panel USB Charger (15W)

Five fold-out panels to charge a phone or power bank from daylight
£56.99 + £15.00 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 7-15 working days. Tracked.

A five-panel folding solar charger with USB output that you can lay on a window ledge, garden table or tent roof to charge a phone, power bank or USB lantern. It folds down to a flat pack for storage.

Solar output in the UK is low, especially from October to March, so the real charge rate will be well below the 15W label. Use it with a power bank rather than plugging a phone in directly, so any sunshine is stored for later.

Key features

  • 15W rated, 5 fold-out panels
  • USB output
  • Folds flat for storage
  • Waterproof fabric surface (as listed)
  • Charges phones and power banks
  • Hang points for rucksacks or tents

How to use it

Unfold the panel in direct sun and plug a power bank into its USB output, so sunshine is stored for later.

  1. Unfold all five panels and lay them flat, or hang them from the hang points, in direct sunlight.
  2. Angle the panels to face the sun, and keep shadows off them.
  3. Plug a USB cable from the panel's USB output into your power bank, lantern or phone.
  4. Check the power bank or device shows that it is charging, and re-angle the panel if it does not.
  5. Move the panel as the sun moves, and fold it flat when finished.
Tips
  • Charge a power bank rather than a phone directly, as sunshine comes and goes.
  • UK output, especially October to March, will be well below the 15W label.
  • Fold it flat for storage.
Safety and limits
  • Do not leave phones or power banks to heat up in direct sun while charging.
  • Keep the plugs and connections dry, even though the fabric is listed as waterproof; do not use it if damaged.
Please note
  • UK winter output will be far below the rated 15W
  • Not for charging a power station unless the listing says it supports that
